The new liberal norm isn't debate but to silence those who disagree with you.

I have a tecnical degree from Northeastern in the 80's. I had to take very few liberal arts courses back then and I looked at them as easy gpa boosters because of the regurgitate the lecture method.

The classes gave a good foundation because 20+ years later in a technical job 80% of it is soft skills.
